But it's relevant, because it has a similar purpose (except in a different field of physics). It's actually a definition of what a force is, nothing more. Well, F = ma was a bad example, I grant you. If you want F=ma to be an assumption, you can go on and derive things from that. You can pick any assumptions you want, that is your privilege, as it is mine. > This is because in order to derive something, you need to first start from a set of assumptions. Using Lagrangians to derive it then begs the question "but why must electrons obey the Lagrangian?". I said there wasn't a "fundamental reason why the Schrödinger equation is X". I don't think I said it couldn't be derived. It's actually not true to say that Schrodinger's equation, or F=ma, cannot be derived.
